Support Jonny Gould’s Jewish State: Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/JonathanLGould I spent more time in a modest queue of journalists observing Shaun Bailey than I did actually talking to him directly. But it was just as instructive. As a Tory, Shaun is the best-placed candidate to beat Sadiq Khan in London’s mayoral election on May 6th 2021. But what chance does he have? He’s not particularly well-resourced by his party which means it’s more down to him to drive his own campaign. But as you’ll hear, he counts himself as a characteristic London “hustler”, insisting his town is not necessarily a Labour city. He makes an impression with his honesty, but is he too unguarded to be a unifying London politician? With many thanks to Hendon Ward councillor Nizza Fluss, who organized his appearance with representatives of Shomrim and Hatzola at Hendon and Golders Green, Shaun answered my questions with clarity and brevity. We talk about his vision of “inclusion”, which he insists must include Jewish people, his policies on ULEZ charging, policing and stations. Then we discuss “disgusting” Israeli Apartheid Week, his positive action after taking part in the “March of the Living” and why a trade mission to Israel is key to restoring the fortunes of London’s post-pandemic economy. And he says Sadiq Khan’s Labour have some way to go before Jewish voters should feel comfortable again voting for them. 🎙LISTEN TO CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE FOR LONDON MAYOR, SHAUN BAILEY.
